Baruch, 3

2.Hear, O LORD, for you are a God of mercy; and have mercy on us, who have sinned against you:

3.for you are enthroned forever, while we are perishing forever.

4.LORD Almighty, God of Israel, hear the prayer of Israel's few, the sons of those who sinned against you; they did not heed the voice of the LORD, their God, and the evils cling to us.

5.Remember at this time not the misdeeds of our fathers, but your own hand and name:

6.for you are the LORD our God; and you, O LORD, we will praise!

7.For this, you put into our hearts the fear of you: that we may call upon your name, and praise you in our captivity, when we have removed from our hearts all the wickedness of our fathers who sinned against you.

8.Behold us today in our captivity, where you scattered us, a reproach, a curse, and a requital for all the misdeeds of our fathers, who withdrew from the LORD, our God."
